Fringe Exclusive: Joshua Jackson Talks Tech Twist, Warns 'Peter Is Rapidly Slipping Away'
Matt Webb Mitovich

Fringe‘s Peter Bishop has put himself on the train to “Observerville,” as Joshua Jackson puts it, by installing one of the chrome domes’ piece of tech into his own head — and in doing so has basically betrayed his loved ones.

“He’s not in a good place,” Jackson shares in the exclusive video below. “He’s doing exactly the thing he promised both Walter and Olivia that he wasn’t going to do, to abandon them and be hell-bent on avenging the death of his daughter.”

Will Fringe issue an “amber” alert for Olivia? Does Glee make “Time” for Klaine kloseness? Who’s the new girl on Grey’s? When will Eyal embark on his next Covert mission? Read on for answers to those questions plus other teases from hot shows.

Fringe
We open this week’s column with a bit of visual splendor: a first look at Season 5, which premieres Sept. 28. In this exclusive image from the final season’s first episode, titled “Transilience Thought Unifier Model 11,” you’ve got circa-2036 Peter, Astrid and Etta checking out a block of amber from which, it appears, at least a few people have been sawed out. Could it be that Olivia, too, was ambered for twentysome years? “You’ll have to wait and see,” showrunner Joel Wyman hedged during our fall preview Q&A. “If she got ambered, if she’s the same age, if she’s not…. You’ll have to wait and see.” Wyman did allow this much; whether it’s a hint is for you to decide: “You’ve got to figure that ambering yourself is kind of a cool thing!”

Fringe Cast Teases Final Season (Who's Missing? Who's Old?), Thanks Firefly for Getting Closure
Michael Ausiello

The bad news: The end is near for Fringe.

The good news: The cast will mark its final season with a ginormous Hall H celebration at Comic-Con on Sunday.

And the best news: The series will end on its own terms, which John Noble suspects is due to the adventures of Captain Mal Reynolds.

“It’s courtesy of Firefly, really,” the actor suggests, referencing the short-lived Fox sci-fier. “They said, ‘You’re not going to do that again,’ so they got to write a final chapter. I’m grateful for Fox taking that on.”

Mega Buzz: A Fringe Reunion...

I'm in denial that it's the final season of Fringe. Give me scoop to help me cope. Please? —Chris
NATALIE:Peter and his daughter Henrietta reunited last season, but her run-in with her mom Olivia will surprise you. "It takes on a slightly different flavor than I think you would anticipate," Joshua Jackson tells us, noting that it will happen very quickly in the season premiere. The real question executive producer J.H. Wyman wants fans to ponder is: What happened to the Fringe team the day the Observers arrived? "How did they get in amber? How did Olivia and Peter and everyone get separated? Why were they all together? Why was Bell there? The history will surprise you when you realize there's a lot of emotions going on for reasons that you don't know yet, but you will."

Comic-Con Exclusive: Sneak peek at 'Fringe' poster... and Observageddon!
by Jeff Jensen

The fifth and final season Fox’s Fringe begins September 28, but the countdown to The End begins on Sunday, July 15 at Comic-Con. For the first (and last) time, the sci-fi saga’s annual confab with fans — always a lively and well-attended affair — will take place inside Comic-Con’s largest venue, Hall H. Cast members Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson and John Noble will be on hand, as will exec producer J.H. Wyman, who’ll be piloting Fringe’s 13-episode grand finale season solo following the recent departure of longtime showrunning partner Jeff Pinkner. “The Comic-Con panel is something I always look forward to, but this year it’s bittersweet,” says Wyman. “I think we have lots of good stuff in store for them.” Among the goodies for attendees: A season 5 teaser poster (see below) that confirms that Fringe’s final chapter will deal squarely with the dystopian future glimpsed in the season 4 episode “Letters of Transit.” Nutshell recap: The world is about to be invaded and conquered by time traveling Observers from the future. Our heroes must find some way here in the present to stop the take-over from happening… or they must find some way to overthrow their oppressors in the future.

Fringe Exclusive: Major Final-Season Time Jump Is Planned, Plus [Spoiler] Returns!

Fringe Exclusive: Major Final-Season Time Jump Is Planned, Plus [Spoiler] Returns!
by Matt Webb Mitovich

In the Season 4 Fringe episode “Letters of Transit,” which was set in the year 2036, Peter says that he, Walter et al had been trapped in amber for some 20 years. So it would stand to reason that if the Fox drama’s final season jumps ahead in time, it would be either by a little… or a lot.

The answer, to hear John Noble tell it, is the latter.

“As far as I know, we’re just jumping ahead [to 2036],” Noble shared with TVLine at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Monday, where he was nominated for Supporting Actor in a Drama (the prize he took home a year ago).

While some Fringe fans my lament the decades’ worth of “lost” time, Noble allows that “there will be references” to the team’s pre-amber days, even using “found footage” to share monumental moments with viewers.

In the Evil Observers-ruled 2036, Noble reminds, “Walter, Olivia, Astrid and Peter are insurgents, so we know all the dirty tricks that have been played against us. We’ll be learning from the past.”

'Fringe': Peter and Olivia Plan for the Future, Bring Up Baby Talk (Exclusive Video)
In the first hour of the two-part season finale airing Friday, the couple explore their options.

11:30 AM PDT 5/3/2012 by Philiana Ng



In the first hour of the season four closer, airing Friday, Peter (Josh Jackson) and Olivia (Anna Torv) share a sweet moment in bed, presumably before chaos ensues, in an exclusive scene from "Brave New World: Part 1."
The reunited couple runs down a list of Massachusetts cities (Lexington, Medford among the lucky towns) they could move to and settle down in, but knowing how the Fringe universe operates, that won’t be happening any time soon.

At one point during the early morning conversation, Olivia brings up chatter about a nursery (a baby?!), which surprises Peter. And rightly so. It was several episodes ago that Olivia and Peter weren’t remotely on the same wavelength to even introduce such a topic.

This Week’s TV: Is Leonard Nimoy really coming back to Fringe?

What To Watch: This Week's TV

This Week’s TV: Is Leonard Nimoy really coming back to Fringe?

The promo for this week's Fringe hints that a special guest star could help the show live long and prosper... but is it true?


Fringe (9 PM, FOX):

David Robert Jones' final plan kicks into action, and judging from this clip, we may get a teeny bit more Nimoy action:

Walter reluctantly revisits his painful past after terrifying cases of spontaneous human combustion. Meanwhile, the future of both universes is at stake when the Fringe team faces David Robert Jones in the mother of all battles.

I'm guessing it'll be the voice of Nimoy in a recording, or the brain of Nimoy in a computerized shell, or some other way to have Nimoy without requiring him to be physically present. But we'll see!
